Cloning in software systems is known to create problems during software maintenance. Several techniques have been proposed to detect the same or similar code fragments in software...
The recovery of software architecture is a first important step towards re-engineering a software system. Architecture recovery usually involves clustering. The problem with curre...
Scan based or Line Sweep methods are a traditional mechanism to traverse the physical layout, or artwork of a microchip. These traversals are incremental in nature. They typically...
